Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 17: Ch 17: Ninth Order Soul Apprentice

Time slowly passed as the vortex around Emrys calmed down and dissipated.

Rumble~

A loud rumbling sound originated from Emrys's body. His form shuddered heavily, yet Emrys seemed oblivious to the disturbance. He was completely immersed in absorbing the energy that exploded within his body from the two Life Essence Droplets.

Unknown to him, one by one, a total of eight strands of thread-like rays of dark blue light emerged from Emrys's head and began to intertwine in the air around him. Each thread pulsated with a different rhythm, casting an eerie glow in the dim surroundings.

While these eight strands of thread-like dark blue light intertwined, another small thread-like dark blue light slowly manifested and began to enlarge.

The process was slow but continuous. Time passed gradually, and soon the ninth thread-like blue ray of light expanded greatly, pulsating with a rhythm similar to the previous eight rays of blue light. It then leaned towards the intertwining rays of blue light and weaved together with them.

Bang!

A slow noise emanated from Emrys's body once again. This time, his body did not tremble; instead, his Soul River seemed to have been stirred. If one could look at his Soul River, one would witness it expanding at an alarming rate.

If the previous Soul River was one meter long and one meter wide, then the current Soul River had already expanded to three meters in length and three meters in width.

Actually, the moment the rumbling noise occurred inside Emrys's body and then the ninth strand of thread-like blue ray of light appeared, Emrys had already advanced and become a Ninth Order Soul Apprentice.

However, that was not the end. His Soul Force was continuously being strengthened by the energy produced by the two drops of Life Essence. It was not just his Soul River, even his vitality had greatly increased.

Along with the strengthening of his Soul River, Emrys's own cultivation was also increasing rapidly.

First, his cultivation stabilized at Ninth Order Soul Apprentice. Soon after, they started approaching the peak.

As the nine strands wove together, they formed intricate patterns, resembling a complex web. Sparks of Soul Force crackled and danced along the length of each thread, creating a mesmerizing spectacle that seemed to be capable of captivating all witnessing this scene.

Unfortunately, there was only one spectator, and her strength seemed to have reached an unfathomable level. She didn't seem to be mesmerized, but she was indeed shocked a little.

Emrys remained serene amidst the unfolding phenomenon. The rumbling from within his body grew more and more intense, resonating with the pulsating energy of the threads as they continued to weave their intricate dance in the air.

With each passing moment, the threads grew stronger and more vibrant, their energy radiating outward in pulsating waves.

As time passed, the threads became even more powerful and bright, sending waves of Soul Force outward. But then, something unexpected happened. The pulsating waves seemed to hit a barrier, like a wall blocking their path. They kept trying to break the barrier, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get past it.

This barrier was actually the last borderline blocking Emrys from becoming a Bronze Soul Master. His cultivation has already risen to the peak of the Ninth Order. If he can break the barrier, he'll advance again.

Unfortunately, Life Essence Droplets, in the end, were mainly used to strengthen an individual's Soul Force and vitality. They were not the right treasures for breaking through a thick wall standing between two major realms.

After struggling for a while, the waves eventually stopped. They calmed down, leaving Emrys and the surrounding area again in silence.

Emrys opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with silvery-white light. He took deep breaths a few times and finally checked his body and then looked into his Soul River.

Finally, he opened his information panel.

Emrys noticed that only his cultivation had changed. Other than that, there seemed to be no change in either his personal information or the information about his Soul Mark.

After closing the information panel, he once again observed his body. Finally, he shifted his attention and came out of the underground cave.

Emrys passed by the beautiful lady so closely that he almost touched her, yet he did not seem to notice her existence at all. It was as if she were invisible to his eyes.

When Emrys walked out of the underground cave, he noticed that night was about to fall.

Emrys clearly remembered that night had already fallen when he began his cultivation session earlier. Now, seeing night descending again, it indicated that he had been immersed in his cultivation for at least 20 hours.

He took out his smartphone and looked at the date, finding that tomorrow would be his fourth day inside the forest.

After checking the date, he began scrolling through the news feeds, catching up on the latest events throughout the Great Flame Kingdom. Once he was updated, he stowed away his smartphone.

Again, he did not notice when he was checking the news feed, someone else also curiously peeked on the screen of his smartphone. Perhaps to experts at her level, the events were boring. She yawned lazily.

"I'll rest tonight and start the hunt again tomorrow. I also have to check how much my strength has increased."

Unfortunately, he no longer had a weapon. Without a weapon, he could only hunt using his fists. He knew he had to remain vigilant, even more so than yesterday or the day before.

After thoroughly checking his surroundings and confirming that there was no danger present, he returned to the underground cave before concealing the entrance with foliage and broken branches that had fallen from the trees.

He wanted to rest for the night and start the adventure again tomorrow.
